There are two things I hate more than anything. Number One: DO NOT yell at me or raise your voice at me in a public place. If you have a problem, there are other ways to communicate it. Specifically, there are other places to communicate it. Number Two: I HATE looking like a fool. I guess one and two both kind of correspond. I think the bottom line is I don't like to be humiliated or disrespected. Of course, who does? Ordinarily, number one is something that I constantly bitch at my husband about. He is short fused and tends to find the most inappropriate times to say the most inappropriate things. I think I first remember this type of instance happening when I was young. My dad would raise his voice at my mom or me or my sisters in public. It embarrassed me,regardless of who the subject of the tongue lashing was. I see it as the most inexcusable form of humiliation. However, a close second is number two. Number two happens when you expect a certain outcome- maybe because its been told to you what to expect or maybe because its the logical outcome of a situation- and BANG you find out (either by accident or by direct contact) that the outcome is wrong. Thus, you (I) am the fool. I know number two seems confusing. But really, its not. Truthfully, number two has to do with trusting someone and then realizing that there is a level of deceit or even blatant lieing. With number two- the same thing happens to me as with number one... I'm embarrassed and I feel stupid. In both instances, I have a hard time recovering from someone I care about doing this to me. I find it interesting that in both cases also, it is typically someone that proclaims or implies some type of mutual care/relationship. Maybe I'm just babbling. Truth is... I was hurt today. It doesn't take much these days... but regardless, it makes those walls of mine just a little higher and my heart just a little more jaded.
I ran to try and clear my head of the above. It didn't work. So, I biked. It didn't work either. I'm hoping venting will. And now, I'm just sore from 7 miles of abuse to my body and ready to climb into bed at 7pm. Healthy, I know.
